Mr. Barr helped make the case for conservatives to shift to war footing against the left during a speech at Notre Dame Law School in October that was strikingly partisan. He accused the forces of secularism of orchestrating the organized destruction of religion. He mocked progressives, asking sardonically, But where is the progress?
And while other members of the Catholic Church and Pope Francis have acknowledged that the sexual abuse crisis has devastated the moral authority of the church in the United States and is in part to blame for decreasing attendance, Mr. Barr outlined what he saw as a larger plot by the left and others. He said they have marshaled all the force of mass communications, popular culture, the entertainment industry and academia in an unremitting assault on religion and traditional values.
At one point, he compared the denial of religious liberty protections for people of faith to Roman emperors who forced their Christian subjects to engage in pagan sacrifices. We cannot sit back and just hope the pendulum is going to swing back toward sanity, Mr. Barr warned.
Delivered on a Friday before a holiday weekend to a small, invitation-only crowd, the speech initially drew little attention in mainstream circles. But among politically active Christians, Mr. Barrs remarks lit a brush fire.
At a dinner with anti-abortion activists shortly after the speech, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told guests how striking and clarifying he found Mr. Barrs comments, according to two people who spoke with him.
It was one of the best speeches any attorney general has ever given, said Edwin Meese III, the attorney general under Ronald Reagan, who said that he not only liked Mr. Barrs style but also agreed with his diagnosis of the problems facing the country.

And of course, Eric Holder was not a partisan. The NYT is a joke.
Hmm... NYT never accused Holder of being partisan, but he was the most partisan AG we ever had...
>>He accused the forces of secularism of orchestrating the organized destruction of religion.
The Left’s mantra for 60 years has been SMASH THE PATRIARCHY - SMASH THE STATE
They set their sights on targeting organized religion a long time ago. Ask corrupt AF Maddy Murray’O’Hare, oh wait her criminal cronies murdered her.
What about child sex abuse issues facing the NEA teachers?
Every week there are more stories and cases exposed.

Seems appropriate comparison when medical students are being required to participate in abortions, people are being required to participate in same sex weddings, and service men’s penis for female exams and waxings.
This is good, this is important, but I sense BarrStool is “diving in” to some of these areas as a smokescreen for NOT “diving in” to the FISA abuse and not issuing any indictments.
It’s a “look over here” move.
I’ll “rejoice” when Barr “dives into” the Brennan-Comey-Hillary-Obama-Strozk-Page-[insert dem du jour] Attempted Coup and does his frigging JOB to bring these people to justice.
” NYT never accused Holder of being partisan, but he was the most partisan AG we ever had...”
That blackguard (look up the term, it is not what you may think) was so brazen in his partisanship that he announced proudly that he was Obama’s “wing man.”
Yup.
